MIT Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to encouraging MIT undergraduate and graduate students to volunteer with Habitat, and to increasing awareness of the global housing crisis on campus.

We hold “build days” one Saturday per month, in which 16 volunteers can spend the day working on a local Habitat house. Each year, we also send 14 volunteers on a spring break trip to work with a Habitat affiliate somewhere in the United States.

Events that we hold on campus include the Habitat Benefit Concert each February and the annual Campus Build each spring (featuring the Cardboard House Building Competition). We also hold an annual 5K competition, the Beaver Dash, each fall to raise money for building Habitat homes.

To view a sampling of some of the events MIT Habitat for Humanity sponsors, we invite you to watch a brief photo montage here. Additonally, you can hear from some of our executive board members how MIT Habitat for Humanity helps make a difference in our world in this short clip.

Although Habitat for Humanity is a Christian organization, the MIT Club of Habitat for Humanity is secular and welcomes students of all backgrounds and faiths. Also, no construction experience is required! Anyone and everyone are welcome to join us at our events and builds!

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
Habitat for Humanity
